Important Safety Information

Indication

TECENTRIQ, in combination with paclitaxel protein-bound, is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with unresectable locally advanced or metastatic triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) whose tumors express PD-L1 (PD-L1–stained tumor-infiltrating immune cells [IC] of any intensity covering ≥1% of the tumor area), as determined by an FDA-approved test.

This indication is approved under accelerated approval based on progression-free survival. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification and description of clinical benefit in a confirmatory trial(s).

Serious Adverse Reactions
Please refer to the full Prescribing Information for important dose management information specific to adverse reactions.

In clinical studies of TECENTRIQ as a single agent, 2.5% of patients developed pneumonitis, including Grade 3 (0.6%), Grade 4 (0.1%), and Grade 5 (<0.1%) events

Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of pneumonitis. Evaluate patients with suspected pneumonitis with radiographic imaging. Administer corticosteroids followed by a taper. Withhold TECENTRIQ for Grade 2 and permanently discontinue for Grade 3 or 4 pneumonitis

In clinical studies of TECENTRIQ as a single agent, hepatitis occurred in 9% of patients, including Grade 3 (2.3%), Grade 4 (0.6%), and Grade 5 (<0.1%) events

Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of hepatitis, during and after discontinuation of TECENTRIQ, including clinical chemistry monitoring. Administer corticosteroids followed by a taper for immune-mediated hepatitis. Withhold TECENTRIQ for AST or ALT elevations more than 3 and up to 8 times the upper limit of normal or total bilirubin more than 1.5 and up to 3 times the upper limit of normal. Permanently discontinue TECENTRIQ for AST or ALT elevations more than 8 times the upper limit of normal or total bilirubin more than 3 times the upper limit of normal

Immune-Mediated Colitis

Immune-mediated diarrhea or colitis have occurred with TECENTRIQ treatment

In clinical studies of TECENTRIQ as a single agent, diarrhea or colitis occurred in 20% of patients, including Grade 3 (1.4%) events

Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of diarrhea or colitis. Withhold TECENTRIQ for Grade 2 or 3 and permanently discontinue for Grade 4 diarrhea or colitis

TECENTRIQ can cause severe and fatal immune-mediated adverse reactions. These immune-mediated reactions may involve any organ system

In clinical studies of TECENTRIQ as a single agent, or were reported in other products in this class, cardiac, dermatologic, gastrointestinal, general, hematological, musculoskeletal, neurological, ophthalmological, renal, and vascular immune-mediated adverse reactions occurred at an incidence of <1%

In clinical studies of TECENTRIQ as a single agent, infusion-related reactions occurred in 1.3% of patients, including Grade 3 (0.2%) events

Monitor patients for signs and symptoms of infusion-related reactions. Interrupt or slow the rate of infusion in patients with Grade 1 or 2 infusion-related reactions. Permanently discontinue TECENTRIQ in patients with Grade 3 or 4 infusion-related reactions

Embryo-Fetal Toxicity

Based on its mechanism of action, TECENTRIQ can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Verify pregnancy status of females of reproductive potential prior to initiating TECENTRIQ. Advise females of reproductive potential of the potential risk to a fetus. Advise females of reproductive potential to use effective contraception during treatment with TECENTRIQ and for at least 5 months after the last dose

Nursing Mothers/Fertility

Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in breastfed infants from TECENTRIQ, advise female patients not to breastfeed while taking TECENTRIQ and for at least 5 months after the last dose

Based on animal studies, TECENTRIQ may impair fertility in females of reproductive potential while receiving treatment
